Tall Pines Campground

Got in late made reservations for the wrong day. Maintenance guy came and found us a place for the night. Which was perfect. It's a big park and if you go at night good luck finding your spot. Had to move the next day. Right next to the playground. Oh joy.! But I was able to park my truck and motorcycle trailer in the field across from our site so we could see it. The office staff was trained by the military straight up by the books. If you haven't left by 1045 they start calling you. A little pricey at 65.00 a night. It's in the woods and it's dark. 13 miles to Branson.

There were some good spots, but there were quite a few bad ones, so if you haven’t driven through and know what works for what you want, you could be disappointed. Our campsite was ok but only because we allowed my brothers longer trailer to switch spots with us; there was no way it would have fit on the gravel pad with a really steep drop off.

All that said, we might come again. It’s a good location and the other campers were friendly and the spots not too close together. You just don’t really know what you’ve got until you get there.

Because they have Silver Dollar City in their name I thought we would get extra perks like at Santa Clause, IN, or Disney property. Not so here. They have transportation that runs with all other traffic to and from the park and regular admission hours. Campground has lots of shade trees, but also lots of hills and drop offs so you could be camping with the edge of your site a steep drop down hill.

Place was fine and well kept. Convenient store and pool and playground were nice. Went on a holiday weekend so I expected it to be crowded. Didnt expect such small tent sites so close together. If it isn't crowded not a big deal.

As a person who has been to Silver Dollar City more times than a I can count, I never realized that the theme of the park was echoed in yet another location of Branson.   It wasn't until I visited the Wilderness at Silver Dollar City, a unique campground located just beyond the property lines of the park itself, that I was able to see just how fun it would be to stay basically in the park but also in the wilderness.

Let me explain, you are not in the park itself, rather on the border in a nice shaded and wooded area with some massive improvements for comfort.    There is a pool for those hot summer days, very nice bath houses and loops for both RVs and tent campers.   But the theme of Silver Dollar City is most prevalently able to be seen in the vintage style cabins they have on the cabin loop.   It is here that you feel like you are truly a part of the park still as the structures closely resemble those within the many streets of the park.   You almost expect to see some of the characters roaming around doing their daily tasks such as cutting wood or creating amazing crafts.   

The cabin area is hands above the rest, the best thing you will find for vintage country style vibes in this area!!  They come in many styles and sizes to accommodate any family, and they offer a variety of unique features depending on the selection.    Something I did notice was they do have old rockers on the porches for that perfect night in the Ozarks all the while offering a modern grill on each cabin to make a stay here both iconic and convenient.   

On the main camping loops you find many sizes and styles of camping sites.    Larger RVs have elongated pull ins for their rigs with large side yard style spaces while smaller rigs have just enough room to pull in and detach so they can go explore.    Pricing reflects the size of the spaces themselves as it does with the style of connections or lack there of.

As a tent camper I noticed the camping loop for tents specifically was very quiet and located slightly away from the RV campers.   A large field separated the two and it made all the difference in way of road traffic and also camping congestion.   Not as many campers come here to stay primitive in the tent only area and it cut down on a lot of the traffic near restrooms as well.

Tent camping loop is basic with fire rings and picnic tables.   There are common water spigots placed for usage but otherwise it is no frills.    Camping here you can walk throughout camp but it is the furthest distance from the main areas for recreation.

Something else nice about this campground  is the access you have to the park itself.  A dedicated shuttle runs to the campground from the park to pick up anyone who is wanting to visit so you do not have to worry about finding parking or driving at all once you arrive.    You can navigate directly to the ticket counter from the campground without lengthy lines waiting for trollies or having to walk further.   Additionally staying here you have additional discounts in the park itself, so keep that in mind if you are planning a trip!!!

Stayed here as our last stop of the season to go see the Christmas lights at SDC. Have small kids so drove to SDC even tho they had shuttle because we didn’t want to have to wait if we were ready to leave as it only runs every several hours. The campgrounds proximity to the road was a big concern, for the kids and the traffic noise; and one of the grounds crew was very rude (must’ve been having a bad day). The number of trees was beautiful but made for a tight squeeze getting our rig (39’) in and out of the our spot. If the one across from us had been occupied I wouldn’t have been able to get in. The campground itself was nice tho and so was being close to SDC. Not sure if we’ll go back but enjoyed our time while there.

The campground buses you to and from the theme park, so you don’t have to worry about parking and the long walk to and from the park! The swimming pool and recreational areas were a plus too! The cabins were very nice to stay in also! Our family had a lot of fun here for many years!

This campground has a shuttle to Silver Dollar City. The site we had was small, barely enough room to park your car and tent. But the campground and bathrooms/showers were exceptionally clean. We were here off season so we had it to ourselves pretty much. So it was perfect. They do rent cabins which looked very nice. We would camp here again but not during the busy season.

We chose this campground due to the shuttle that ran from the campground to Silver Dollar City, as that was our main reason for this trip. We had our 4 and 6 year old great grandkids with us.
It has a nice little playground that the kids enjoyed. Staff was friendly and helpful. I advised them we would be arriving later than planned and they had our rental packet waiting for us. Sites are a little tight but we managed with our 31 ft 5th wheel. We will stay here again.

We try to be right by the playground and our kids always make lots of friends at The Wilderness. Clean bathrooms, nice store, great pool and. shuttle to SDC are all nice amenities. We did find that the laundry room closed at 6 pm in March! Ridiculous! Hauled our dirty clothes all the way there to find it locked. Overall, we enjoy staying here.

we were here over the July 4th weekend and we were really excited has a great pool the bathrooms and showers are very nice and well kept. but this is where we kind of feel it could go either way if you were staying and one of the cabins I think that this would be a great place to stay on the other hand we wre trying to fit our bumper pull camper in there was a little nerve-wracking all the campers were very close together there was no privacy... everyone was just kind of shoved everywhere.

Very nice camping areas plenty of shade trees. Restrooms and showers very clean.

This was a surprisingly nice campground for being situated right in Branson, MO and operated by Silver Dollar City, whose primary business is the theme park. The area is fairly wooded, providing more privacy between the sites. There are many amenities, including laundry, shower, wifi in the main building, a game room with television and comfy couches, pool, market, playground, and a shuttle to Silver Dollar City park. The campground organizes some special events in the main game room, such as the breakfast for Father's Day that we experienced. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. My daughter's roller coaster birthday plans were rained out, and the staff helped us find other indoor adventures. FYI: If looking for adventure in Branson, we really enjoyed Fritz's Adventure--check it out!

As part of a special weekend, we opted to stay in the Pioneer Cabin instead of our usual tent. This cabin was surprisingly isolated, while still be right next to the bathrooms. We enjoyed our little bit of the Ozark, and the kids got acquainted with the abundant fireflies. The other cabins were not quite so private--to be fair.

The RV sites were not as crammed as they are in many private campgrounds. I wouldn't call them spacious, or private either. The tent sites do not seem to offer much privacy, but can be a good place to hang one's for a night. After all, this is in Branson, and there is so much to do outside of a tent to worry much about the details.
